People are not happy with the BBC PGA Championship coverage

No early featured groups, no high definition option, red button and iPlayer only viewing – the BBC PGA Championship coverage has taken a heck of a beating on social media.

Here’s what is being said…

Just switched the golf. The BBC coverage is embarrassing. Understand the free to air argument but they're 30 yrs behind Sky in every respect

So the BBC win back coverage of a golf major and only show one hour a night on actual TV #USPGA ?

The mighty #BBC doing no justice to #golf sports coverage – the 4th major of the year on iplayer & not the tellybox #licencefeemadness

BBC get the rights for the coverage of the US PGA Golf Championship & put it on via the red button no HD? Commentary dated & awful shocking

What crap coverage of the PGA golf by the BBC not even in hd like watching the golf in the eighties

The coverage of the #PGAChampionship from the BBC is shocking,on the red button & all but no sound from the course. Get it back onto SS Golf

Quality of BBC Pictures of PGA Golf from Quail Hollow very disappointing. Sky do golf coverage much better.

BBC coverage of the PGA champs is terrible. @SkySports you have a channel dedicated to golf and you don't have the last major of the year??

Here’s what YOU had to say when we asked the question on Twitter…

Red button? Ridiculous way to treat a newly acquired Major. All seems very pedestrian coverage compared to Sky too

I watched back to the future this afternoon. Now I am watching it again. Bbc need to get out of the 80's.

Hope Sky get it back, better product. Clearly the BBC dont care about golf, it's not even on their main channels. Highlights at midnight!?!

Commentary terrible in comparison to Sky

It's so blurry it's making me violently sick. ?

What coverage? Insult to golf fans

Sadly it's awful now that Ken is on the Comm's it's a dead giveaway the BBC don't have anyone on the course.no wonder Beef was called Lowry

Absolutely crap tbh the twitter live feed is sharper & better

— Mark Price (@Pricey48) August 10, 2017

Ridiculous. @SkySportsGolf has let us all down ? they get a golf channel and lose 1 of the majors madness

— Neil Ralph (@NeilRalphy) August 10, 2017

?? commentary is woeful. Puts a dampener on the actual great atmosphere at the course #skyallday

— David Wakefield (@david_wakey) August 10, 2017

To put it politely its rank rotten. No HD option is beyond amateur!

— David G (@glasgowdavid7) August 10, 2017

It's shocking coverage thank god for peter allis #amateurhour

An absolute travesty

— Dean Elder PGA (@DeanAllanelder3) August 10, 2017

It’s even got people upset with people who are upset, which makes it probably the most meta major of all time…

Cooorrrrrr lots of people moaning about the free BBC coverage……..take a day off, mute it and do your own commentary, probs so better ?
